Since sensor nodes have restriction of using resources in Zigbee network, number of study on improving efficiency is currently ongoing[1]. Clustering mechanism based on hierarchy structure provides a prevention of duplicated information and a facility of a network expansion[2]. however overheads can occurs when the cluster header is elected and the election of a incorrect cluster header causes to use resources inefficiently. In this paper, we propose that the cluster header election mechanism using distances between nodes and density of nodes in accordance with the operation of the central processing system in which the sync nodes are having information of location and energy with respect to general nodes based on hierachy clustering mechanism.

기존에 제안된 클러스터 기반의 데이터 전송 프로토콜은 데이터 전송을 위해 헤더 노드가 존재하고 각 헤더노드는 데이터 전송을 위한 경로 정보를 유지해야 하기 때문에 전송할 데이터가 많아지면 저장해야 할 캐시도 증가하게 되고 데이터 전송 시 데이터 공고와 요구의 과정을 거쳐야 된다. 또한 LOAD(6LoWPAN Ad hoc Routing Protocol)에서는 데이터 전송 시 목적지에 대한 경로 정보를 획득 하는 작업과 획득한 경로를 테이블에 보관해야 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안된 데이터 전송 프로토콜은 데이터 전송 요구 시 목적지로 전송하기 위한 경로 정보의 획득이나 유지를 하지 않는다. 또한 노드들이 한번씩 데이터를 전송함으로써 노드의 전체적인 에너지 공평성과 효율성을 증가시키고, 전체 네트워크의 수명을 연장 시킬 수 있다.

모바일 기기 보급이 급증함에 따라 모바일 환경에서 이루어지는 Peer-to-Peer(P2P)방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 모바일 기기는 무선통신이라는 특성이 있기 때문에, 이동하는 peer의 에너지 절약이 항상 요구된다. Peer에 저장된 에너지를 모두 사용하게 되면 네트워크에 참여할 수가 없고, 에너지가 없는 peer 수가 지속적으로 증가되면 파일 탐색이 불가능하게 된다. Super peer를 기반으로 하는 계층적인 P2P 시스템은 기존의 단일 계층인 P2P 시스템보다 적은 양의 메시지를 이용하여 파일을 탐색할 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, super peer로 선정된 peer는 주변의 sub-peer들로부터 파일 탐색 요청 메시지를 지속적으로 받게 되어 빨리 에너지가 소모되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 super peer를 이용한 모바일 P2P 시스템에서 peer들의 남은 에너지를 고려하여 에너지가 적은 peer의 사용을 피하여 상대적으로 에너지가 많이 남은 peer들의 사용을 유도하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해서 성능평가를 하였으며, 제안된 시스템의 네트워크 유지시간이 기존 super peer를 이용한 시스템보다 오래 지속됨을 확인하였다.

The submerged floating tunnel (SFT) infrastructure has been regarded as an emerging technology that efficiently and safely connects land and islands. The SFT route problem is an essential part of the SFT planning and design phase, with significant impacts on the surrounding environment. This study aims to develop an optimization model considering transportation and structure factors. The SFT routing problem was optimized based on two objective functions, i.e., minimizing total travel time and cumulative strains, using NSGA-II. The proposed model was applied to the section from Mokpo to Jeju Island using road network and wave observation data. As a result of the proposed model, a Pareto optimum curve was obtained, showing a negative correlation between the total travel time and cumulative strain. Based on the inflection points on the Pareto optimum curve, four optimal SFT routes were selected and compared to identify the pros and cons. The travel time savings of the four selected alternatives were estimated to range from 9.9% to 10.5% compared to the non-implemented scenario. In terms of demand, there was a substantial shift in the number of travel and freight trips from airways to railways and roadways. Cumulative strain, calculated based on SFT distance, support structure, and wave energy, was found to be low when the route passed through small islands. The proposed model helps decision-making in the planning and design phases of SFT projects, ultimately contributing to the progress of a safe, efficient, and sustainable SFT infrastructure.

In wireless sensor networks(WSNs) individual sensor nodes are subject to security compromises. An adversary can physically capture sensor nodes and obtain the security information. And the adversary injects false reports into the network using compromised nodes. If undetected, these false reports are forwarded to the base station. False reports injection attacks can not only result in false alarms but also depletion of the limited amount of energy in battery powered sensor nodes. To combat these false reports injection attacks, several filtering schemes have been proposed. The statistical en-routing filtering(SEF) scheme can detect and drop false reports during the forwarding process. In SEF, The number of the message authentication codes(threshold) is important for detecting false reports and saving energy. In this paper, we propose a dynamic threshold determination method for energy efficient SEF using fuzzy-logic in wireless sensor networks. The proposed method consider false reports rate and the number of compromised partitions. If low rate of false reports in the networks, the threshold should low. If high rate of false reports in networks, the threshold should high. We evaluated the proposed method’s performance via simulation.

In wireless sensor networks with ad hoc networking capability, sensor nodes are battery operated and are usually disposable once deployed. As a result, each sensor node senses and communicates with limited energy and, thus, energy efficiency has been studied as a key design factor which determines lifetime of a wireless sensor network, and it is more improved recently by using so-called cross-layer optimization technique. In this paper, we propose and implement a new energy saving mechanism that reduces energy consumption during data collection by controlling transmission power at sensor nodes and then measure its performance in terms of lifetime improvement for the wireless sensor network platform ZigbeX. When every sensor node transmits sensed data to its clusterhead, it controls its transmission power down to as low level as communication is possible, resulting in energy saving. Each sensor node controls its transmission power based on RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) of the packet received from its clusterhead. In other words, the sensor node can save energy by controlling its transmission power down to an appropriate level that its clusterhead safely receives the packet it transmits. According to the repetitive experiment of the proposed scheme on the ZigbeX platform using the packet analyzer developed by us, it is observed that the network lifetime is prolonged by up to 21.9% by saying energy during the data collection occupying most amount of network traffic.

Currently, there are many applications being developed based on sensor network technology. A tracking method for moving objects in sensor network is one of the main issue of this field. There is a little research on this issue, but most of the existing work has two problems. The first problem is a communication overhead for visiting sensor nodes many times to track a moving object. The second problem is an disability for dealing with many moving objects at a time. To resolve the problems, we, in this paper, propose a signature-based tracking method using efficient data aggregation for moving objects, called SigMO-TRK. For this, we first design a local routing hierarchy tree to aggregate moving objects' trajectories efficiently by using a space filtering technique. Secondly, we do the tracking of all trajectories of moving objects by using signature in a efficient way, our approach generates signatures to method. In addition, by extending the SigMO-TRK, we can retrieve the similar trajectories of moving objects for given a query. Finally, by using the TOSSIM simulator, we show that our signature-based tracking method outperforms the existing tracking method in terms of energy efficiency.

In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm that maximizes the network lifetime in wireless ad-hoc networks using the broadcast transmission method. The optimization algorithm proposed in this paper applies tabu search algorithm, a metaheuristic method that improves the local search method using the memory structure. The proposed tabu search algorithm proposes efficient encoding and neighborhood search method to the network lifetime maximization problem. By applying the proposed method to design efficient broadcast routing, we maximize the lifetime of the entire network. The proposed tabu search algorithm was evaluated in terms of the energy consumption of all nodes in the broadcast transmission occurring in the network, the time of the first lost node, and the algorithm execution time. From the performance evaluation results under various conditions, it was confirmed that the proposed tabu search algorithm was superior to the previously proposed metaheuristic algorithm.

Routing through a backbone, which is responsible for performing and managing multipoint communication, reduces the communication overhead and overall energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. However, the backbone nodes will need extra functionality and therefore consume more energy compared to the other nodes. The power consumption imbalance among sensor nodes may cause a network partition and failures where the transmission from some sensors to the sink node could be blocked. Hence optimal construction of the backbone is one of the pivotal problems in sensor network applications and can drastically affect the network's communication energy dissipation. In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed to generate backbone trees through robust multi-hop clusters in wireless sensor networks. The main objective is to form a properly designed backbone through multi-hop clusters by considering energy level and degree of each node. Our improved cluster head selection method ensures that energy is consumed evenly among the nodes in the network, thereby increasing the network lifetime. Comprehensive computer simulations have indicated that the newly proposed scheme gives approximately 10.36% and 24.05% improvements in the performances related to the residual energy level and the degree of the cluster heads respectively and also prolongs the network lifetime.
